Perfect! .iso runs as a liveCD, no saves, BIOS machines, albeit time to make a cup of tea whilst it boots. The usually 'silent' majority may be hoping for a true 32bit live version for BIOS machines, as indicated in the recent Distrowatch Poll and Comments! Only a tiny minority of operators in the rich nations are messin' with tomorrow's UEFI/Secure Boot 8-core, 8Gb plastic tat in a fancy carry-case? 32bit runs on 64bit, the reverse isn't true...

Not had any luck with a full install though. Tried it with the installer script, and later using the universal installer from the frugal install. Booting with Grub4dos with the generated menu entry. It finds the kernel then hangs.

Also, the devx pet will not load. Tried via PPM and also a manual download, but it complains that there is not enough space (there is plenty).
Network (wifi), and sound working correctly, although wifi not connecting automatically on bootup.

This is for the frugal install?

If you mouse-over the memory icon in the tray, how much free space does it show?

Earlier today I installed Quirky Pyro64 to a 32gb SDHC card using the
same method as my 1st post above.
While running the SDHC card install I saw the EasyDD item in the setup section
of the menu and used it to install to a 32gb flash drive:

EDIT: I moved the SDHC card install over to my Acer laptop, the touchscreen is working.
EDIT2: Found out moving the SDHC card doesn't work, network settings are not changeable now.
Going to do a fresh install to the card.

This script will install Quirky to an entire drive, and make it bootable
with the Syslinux boot manager, for any x86 PC.
The intention is to install to pluggable memory drives such as USB Flash
sticks and SD-cards. The entire drive is erased, so take off any files that
you want to keep.
The script will ask questions at each step, and will offer a choice of
drives to install to, but of course it comes down to you to make an intelligent
choice and not erase your PCs internal hard drive!
This script should work when running any Linux distribution, however, it
works best when running a Puppy Linux or Puppy Linux-derivative, as Puppy has,
in my opinion, many superior utilities. However, this script will check for
existence or otherwise of those utilities and downgrade appropriately, or
abort if a missing utility is essential.

Press ENTER key to continue (CTRL-C to abort):

1 pyro64-0.5.usfs.xz

Type a number from the left column: 1
...ok, have chosen pyro64-0.5.usfs.xz

Testing integrity of compressed file, please wait...

Plug in a USB Flash drive, 4GB size, or greater, right now.
Also, please be sure that it is unmounted.
Note, 4GB is sufficient, however for a satisfactory ongoing experience
using Quirky, it is recommended to use a 8GB or greater drive. If you intend
to keep using this installation on a daily basis, to allow for plenty of
package installations, upgrades, downloads, etc., or installation of the
'devx' PET, it is essential to have at least 8GB.

WARNING: Many Linux distros will auto-mount a drive when it is plugged
in. You will have to unmount it BEFORE CONTINUING!!!
(if you are unsure about this, don't worry, the script will
check again later, after you have chosen the drive)

Have you plugged in the drive? Then press ENTER key:
which: no probedisk in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/opt/qt5/bin)

As you are not using a Puppy-derivative, you do not have the excellent
'probedisk' utility, which reports all drives. So, falling back to giving you
a simple list:

These are all of the drives found in your PC:
sda sdb sdc

Choose the drive to install to...
1 sda
2 sdb
3 sdc

Type a number from left column: 3
...ok, have chosen sdc

Uncompressing pyro64-0.5.usfs.xz to pyro64-0.5.usfs...

Final sanity check: 'sdc' is correct? (ENTER if OK, CTRL-C abort):

Some preliminaries on the sdc...
Size of drive=7680MB

Would you like to zeroize the entire drive before installation?
You should answer 'yes' to this if you choose to make a image-file
of the drive immediately after installation (this script will later offer
to do that) -- an image-file is useful for writing to other drives, or
to give to others. Zeroizing beforehand will make the image-file smaller.
NOTE: zeroizing may take over 30 minutes, depending on size of drive.
NOTE: Do not do this with a USB1 interface or via a USB-hub (too slow).
NOTE: Unless you really need to do this, recommend press ENTER to decline.
ENTER only to decline, (any other char to zeroize drive):

You need only set TCLIBC = "musl" to enable building musl instead of glibc.

IIRC, Barry did an open embedded build with musl libc, but I cannot seem to find those results. Were they just discarded?_________________Check out my github repositories. I may eventually get around to updating my blogspot.
